Negative Prompts for Realistic AI Image Generation

Here’s some Negative prompts that might help you to get more realistic images when generating with AI.
I mainly use Easy Diffusion which is a free UI for Stable Diffusion. But since these are very basic prompts I’m sure they will work for other AI Image apps too just as long as long as the app have input for Negative Prompts.

Right under is a screenshot of Easy Diffusion. Stable Diffusion is the engine in the background that takes care of the image generation.
This UI works with Windows, Linux and Mac. It supports both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs for all 3 operative systems.

I have sorted some Negative Prompts into a few categories, so you easily can choose what you’re looking for. If you scroll down you’ll have all these combined for easy copy/pasting.

ANATOMY & BODY – (NEG. PROMPT)
deformed, disfigured, bad anatomy, bad proportions, malformed, mutated, mutation, ugly, twisted body, unnatural pose, bad posture, elongated body, out of frame, half body, poorly framed, cropped, cut off

LIMBS & EXTREMITIES – (NEG. PROMPT)
extra limbs, extra arms, extra legs, missing limbs, broken limbs, fused limbs, floating limbs, disconnected limbs, stretched arms, warped legs, distorted torso, bad neck

HANDS & FINGERS – (NEG. PROMPT)
missing fingers, fused fingers, too many fingers, extra fingers, long fingers, short fingers, webbed fingers, distorted hands

FACE & FEATURES – (NEG. PROMPT)

SKIN & TEETH – (NEG. PROMPT)

STYLE & ART FORM – (NEG. PROMPT) (important one for realistic photos)
painting, drawing, illustration, sketch, cartoon, anime, manga, 3D, render, CGI, digital art, video game art, unreal engine, octane render

QUALITY & ARTIFACTS – (NEG. PROMPT)
blurry, grainy, noisy, low resolution, low quality, pixelated, jpeg artifacts, compression artifacts, watermark, signature, text, username, logo

Below is all Negative Prompts combined for easy copy/paste:

deformed, disfigured, bad anatomy, bad proportions, malformed, mutated, mutation, ugly, twisted body, unnatural pose, bad posture, elongated body, out of frame, half body, poorly framed, cropped, cut off, extra limbs, extra arms, extra legs, missing limbs, broken limbs, fused limbs, floating limbs, disconnected limbs, stretched arms, warped legs, distorted torso, bad neck, missing fingers, fused fingers, too many fingers, extra fingers, long fingers, short fingers, webbed fingers, distorted hands, asymmetrical face, distorted face, malformed face, bad facial structure, cloned face, extra head, extra face, vacant stare, dead eyes, asymmetrical eyes, cross-eyed, squint, lazy eye, weird eyes, distorted eyes, uneven eyes, bulging eyes, different sized eyes, unrealistic skin, plastic skin, glossy skin, textureless skin, airbrushed skin, bad teeth, crooked teeth, painting, drawing, illustration, sketch, cartoon, anime, manga, 3D, render, CGI, digital art, video game art, unreal engine, octane render, blurry, grainy, noisy, low resolution, low quality, pixelated, jpeg artifacts, compression artifacts, watermark, signature, text, username, logo

Something important to keep in mind is that in some cases negative prompts can confuse the AI.
This might make everything worse. If you get bad image results, try to remove some of the prompts.
